Text description provided by the architects. The approach taken for the Mash House is one which celebrates outdoor space. The original double-fronted Victorian house offered a plethora of challenges including limited solar access. In predictable fashion, services had been attached to the rear of the dwelling over time, effectively dislocating the living areas from the backyard. A belt of space to the east of the house laid bare where a driveway once existed. An old shed, stretching the width of site, sat idly to the rear. These elements combined, meant the overriding feel of the house was one of disconnection.
